Marriage, Missions, and Marlins

It’s the weekend, and I just wanted to let you know about three cool things.

Marriage

I posted about this at the beginning of the month, but I wanted to give you a little reminder.  What ever stage or state your marriage is in, it could always use a little extra.  Family Life has teamed up with The Stretched Blog to offer a discounted rate for Stretched readers.  Simply go to the Family Life Weekend to Remember site, and register using the group code:  STRETCHED.  This will give you a significant discount on the normal rate of this conference.  Check out my original post for more details.

Missions

Today is the last day that you can pick up a free electronic copy of a new book by Seth Barnes.  Simple go to Amazon.com and search for Kingdom Journeys (Kindle Edition).  The offer is gone at the end of the day today.  For a chance to win a hard copy of the book, see my post from earlier this week.  I’ll be picking a winner early next week, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to pick up a great new book.  The book itself has a missions emphasis, but it’s about so much more than missions as you and I typically think about it.

Marlins

Don’t misunderstand me on this one, I’m a huge Phillies fan which would typically put me at odds with the Marlins.  But I have a very small place in my heart for the Marlins after reading about this story on the POTSC blog this week.  Check out this video, and I think you’ll see why:

Do you have anything that starts with the letter “M” that deserves a mention?

    Wow! That’s great that you’re able to hook up your readers with a special for the marriage conference. Wish my wife and I could go but it’s not looking good this year.

      Joe, I believe my discount applies to any Weekend to Remember conference through next summer. Check out their website to see if there’s one in your area in 2013. Believe me, it’s worth it!

        Thanks, I didn’t know that they were held across the country. There’s one not too far from us but it seems the code doesn’t work. Oh well, guess it’s time to talk to the wife and see what she thinks.

          Strange. I’ll have to get in touch with Family Life to find out why the code isn’t working. It should work. Thanks for the heads up. And I hope it works for you and your wife to go sometime.
